Show Notes
Human trafficking is often misunderstood as a series of isolated crimes, but in reality, it is a massive, $150 billion annual industry embedded in the global supply chains we rely on every day. From electronics to agriculture, forced labor thrives through "shadow logistics" and debt bondage, often hidden behind layers of subcontracting and shell companies. This episode explores the multi-sector architecture being built to fight back, including AI-driven satellite monitoring of "ghost fleets" and advanced financial intelligence sharing. We examine how governments are shifting from reactive policing to proactive economic deterrents.
